Pick up some bleach then, and you'll find that woman appearing from thin air!

I don't need the woman, I've got my flies.

I have nicknamed it Dopey B******s or DB for short.

Re: Forming Attachments

I've made an observation. Actually, I'm always making observations, but they are normally too trivial to mention. This observation just made it under the bar, but not without bumping its head.

The original two flies (A&B) completely ignored each other. No interaction whatsoever. This new pairing, however, is quite different. When fly A died -although it could have been fly B that died; it's hard to say- and fly C took its place, the two behaved just the same as A&B did. But now, they seem to have teamed up, and they also seem to be having a negative influence on one another. It's as if they are egging each other on. The behaviour of both fly B and fly C is far naughtier than was the case with fly A and fly B. They are walking on far more forbidden surfaces. I think it may be necessary for me to take action.

You are clearly having a bad influence on them, Harbal. They were good and decent flies before they came to you. Now you have ruined them!

Not yet, Pixie, but I fear it may be imminent.

They sound like a couple of fly-by-nights.

Re: Forming Attachments

What will you do if they lay eggs and have babies Harbal. Flies are notoriously bad at parenthood.
